2004 Yamaha XJR 1300 1.3L Petrol · AY54 CKV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 14 March 2026 at 47,085 miles. The overall maintenance trend is stable, though the latest test introduced a new advisory regarding a noisy rear exhaust on both sides. This follows a period of exceptionally clean records between 2020 and 2025, where the bike passed four consecutive tests without a single defect or advisory. The mileage is low for a 22 year old machine, averaging roughly 2,140 miles per year. The data shows a consistent usage pattern with a slight increase in annual mileage over the last three years, rising from 855 miles between November 2020 and March 2021 to 1,997 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. A recording error appears in the July 2019 entry showing 4,451 miles, but this is an obvious clerical mistake given the surrounding readings of 40,688 and 43,269 miles. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the exhaust system. The 2016 test flagged a leak, and the 2026 advisory for noise suggests the system may be deteriorating or requires new baffles. The front suspension warrants a close look; while the light misting on the nearside shock absorber noted in July 2017 was not mentioned again, it can indicate a slow seal failure that may have progressed over time. The braking system appears well maintained since a failure in July 2014 due to worn rear brake pads. Given the low overall mileage and the age of the bike, check for any signs of corrosion on the chassis and brake discs, as vehicles that spend long periods stationary are prone to surface rust and seizing calipers.
